Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: To assess the knowledge and acceptability of COVID-19 vaccines among HCWs.
UNASSIGNED: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in March 2021 among eligible HCWs using a self-administered questionnaire.
UNASSIGNED: The study was conducted in a southern Nigerian tertiary hospital.
UNASSIGNED: All HCWs not on annual or study leave were eligible to participate. The number of HCWs in each occupational category was determined by proportional allocation. HCWs were selected by stratified sampling technique.
UNASSIGNED: Knowledge of COVID-19 vaccines was assessed using 25 questions. The minimum and maximum scores were 0 and 25, respectively. Scores were converted to percentages. Scores of 50% and above were rated as good knowledge. Participants were also asked if they were willing to receive the vaccine.
UNASSIGNED: The mean age of 512 participating HCWs was 33.4±7.8 with an M:F ratio of 1:1.1. Overall, 399 (76.6%) had good knowledge. Occupation and exposure to COVID-19 were predictors of knowledge. Three hundred and twenty-eight respondents (63.0%) were willing to take the vaccine. Predictors of willingness to accept vaccination were age, sex, number of years in employment and knowledge about the vaccines (p< 0.05).
UNASSIGNED: Most HCWs had good knowledge and were disposed to accepting the COVID-19 vaccine. Educational interventions are necessary to improve HCWs knowledge as they may provide vaccine-related information to the general public.
UNASSIGNED: None declared.

摘要：
■评估医护人员对COVID-19疫苗的了解和可接受性。
■2021年3月，在符合条件的HCWs中使用自编问卷进行了描述性横断面研究。
■这项研究是在尼日利亚南部的一家三级医院进行的。
■所有未休年假或研究假的HCWs均有资格参加。每个职业类别中的HCW数量由比例分配确定。HCW是通过分层抽样技术选择的。
■使用25个问题评估了COVID-19疫苗的知识。最小和最大分数分别为0和25。分数转换为百分比。50%及以上的分数被评为良好知识。参与者还被问及他们是否愿意接种疫苗。
■512名参与HCW的平均年龄为33.4±7.8，M：F比为1：1.1。总的来说,399（76.6%）具有良好的知识。职业和接触COVID-19是知识的预测因素。三百二十八名受访者（63.0％）愿意接种疫苗。接受疫苗接种意愿的预测因素是年龄，性别,就业年限和对疫苗的了解(p<0.05)。
■大多数医护人员都有很好的知识，倾向于接受COVID-19疫苗。教育干预措施是必要的，因为它们可以向公众提供与疫苗相关的信息。
■没有声明。
